Thursday September 21, 2006 Sun Releases NetBeans Version for Beginners
|
As somebody who has tried NetBeans at several different times (typically when a new major release has been announced), looking for a really simple, ease to use IDE, without having to spend a lot of time learning how to drive it (because I don't have that time), this is refreshing news. |
I tried BlueJ a couple years ago, and it was just what I had in mind (except that it didn't support the then latest version of Java, which was what I needed for what I was testing).
The merging of these two tools will hopefully provide a perfect transition for me, to the more fully-featured NetBeans environment.
For more information on the NetBeans 5.0 IDE BlueJ edition, checkout their website.

- The Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums of All Time
I don't know who compiled this list but wanna bet they are all in their 50's. Which isn't really a problem for me as I agree with a lot of this, but I've got to imagine two younger generations are going "yeah, right". - From Crypto to Jazz
"To the uninitiated, modern jazz can sound like a secret language, full of unpredictable melodies and unexpected rhythms. For alto saxophonist Rudresh Mahanthappa, however, the idea of jazz as code is more than just a metaphor.
But for his latest release, Codebook, from Pi Recordings, the artist looked instead to cryptography and number theory for inspiration."
